It is always a pleasure to have an opportunity to give a thumbs up to Dick Bartley.
 
It seems that a true pioneer has been left out. His greatest influence may not have been as a jock, but he started as one and continued in sydication and other stuff---------Dick Clark

Also, another guy started as a jock, but made his influence in another role--------Bill Drake

Let's also not forget Cleveland's Bill Randle....who kept going right up until just before he passed around the year 2000. In the 1990s, he was doing morning drive....and doing it quite well...at WRMR. This, while also operating his own law practice!

Dick Bartley is a good man.
Speaking of oldies shows is Mike Harvey still on the air?

You get no argument from me. Looks like Mike Harvey is still on the air, checking the Internet. He shares the page I found with Dick Bartley, Dick Clark and Scott Shannon.
